One in three women die of heart disease in America.
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in America.
The good news is women have control over many of the risk factors linked to heart disease including:
smoking
high blood pressure
high cholesterol
high stress
lack of exercise
obesity
Talk to your physician to find out what you can do to lower the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Unfortunately, too many women shrug off the risks of heart disease in women because they think it's a man's disease. Spread the word--talk to your girl friends about the importance of taking care of our hearts and our bodies.
Going out tonight? Spread the word about preventing heart disease and ask your family, girl friends, and co-workers to wear red.
